My Camera Gear

OM Systems / Olympus are my gear of choice

Having suffered from G.A.S for many years it did help me in one respect, knowing the camera gear I like. That’s why when I knew I wanted to start photography again I bought light and that meant Olympus Micro Four Thirds. I used to use mainly Panasonic Lumix MFT but it seems that Panasonic has decided to concentrate on Full Frame with no new G /GX cameras.

Another quirk I have is the fact I don’t really like changing lenses, I can remember a time when I used to carry 3 bodies around with different primes. The body was the Panasonic GX7 my favourite camera, with the 7-14 on one, 20 on another and 45 on the last, great for street. As I’m leaning more to Urban stuff I thought 2 bodies would do so I bought the Olympus Pen EP-7 and the OM System EM5. These are great looking cameras and very light so easy to carry around in one bag.

As you can tell, my preference is for primes, you need these for quick action street stuff. Not so much for Urban shooting, so I have bought a selection of primes and zooms and will used them till I find the right choice for me. I will give you my impressions of each lens in later blog posts

It all begins with an idea.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
